My wife lived with me for two years before she lost this attitude. I'm definitely more on the hyperactive end of the disorder and I can out work just about anybody. Nobody has ever accused me of being lazy. My family is well taken care of and all my responsibilities are met. Don't ask me to relax, remember anything, or pay attention to anything and all is well. I'd love anyone who says ADHD is made up to live through my anxiety attacks and say it's not really a real thing. I'd also challenge them to keep up with me when I'm on a hyperfocus brain melt. I can actually cause myself physical harm because get so wrapped up in what I'm doing I do not pay attention to pain or discomfort. Earlier this year I dug six 15" by 5 foot deep deck footings with a post hole digger in rocky soil in just a few hours. When my wife came home she was dumbfounded that the work was done but pointed out that both of my wrists were swollen. I didn't even notice. Lazy piece of shit looking for an excuse reporting for duty!
